John Deere showcases latest innovations at Agritechnica 2025

John Deere has presented a suite of new products at Agritechnica 2025 in Germany, with highlights including the 9RX tractor which recently debuted Down Under as well as a multi-path strategy for alternative drive technologies.

The 9RX tractor has the John Deere second-generation autonomy package, which uses 16 individual cameras to calculate working depth with greater precision. This enables the tractor to pull larger implements and operate at higher speeds.

The John Deere autonomy strategy is based on a multi-layered technology platform, starting with core technologies like AutoTrac, JDLink and G5 displays, and extending to advanced steering systems, precision seeding and remote monitoring of machines and field operations.

In the dairy and livestock segment, the new F8 and F9 forage harvester series along with the Kemper 400pro header were also on display. These harvesters feature a newly designed cab and engines delivering up to 1020hp.

The 400pro header is fitted with the ComfortRide and ComfortProtect systems, a centrally positioned 360-degree transport wheel, and integrated side knives for multi-crop capability. Switching between transport and harvest mode is fully automated and completed in 30 seconds.

The C442R, C452R, and C462R combination balers are designed for high-quality silage production and can be optioned with an integrated bale weighing system. The V452R and V462R also have an automatic weave function, allowing the baler to oscillate across the swath via a flexible drawbar. All baler models are ISOBUS-compatible and fully integrated within the John Deere Operations Center.

In the small grains segment, new 500R Series self-propelled sprayers include key features such as BoomTrac Pro 2 boom control, PowrSpray for consistent chemical delivery, and ExactApply for individual nozzle control.

John Deere also previewed a range of low- to zero-emission drive solutions, from biofuels and renewable diesel to electrification.

The fully electric E-Power tractor prototype, featuring up to five KREISEL batteries, 130 hp, and full implement compatibility. These solutions support the transition to climate-friendly farming without compromising on performance or reliability.
